It is the week running up to Christmas and Jason Fields is not looking forward to the event. After the betrayal of his boyfriend the previous Christmas Eve, all he wants for the holiday to be over. All that changes when he receives a chest from his family, which contains a present he never expected.
Glenn Eckhart has spent the past one hundred years as a prisoner inside an object he used to treasure, and has no reason to ever care for another. But when he is summoned by his new master, the once human man finds that Jason is nothing like he had imagined.
Jason has seven days, and seven chances to change his life. Will the two men find a way to thaw their hearts, or will they be frozen shut for the rest of their days?
My name is Calvin, and I'm here mainly to share the books I have written to a wider audience. I write under a pseudonym, because it's important to keep reality and fantasy separate. No matter how much fun fantasy can be.
Hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
Oh I did enjoy this book. It has some very interesting characters and a nice take on the classic genie story.
Glenn has been trapped for fifty years in a once treasured possession, a snow globe, that then comes into the possession of the unwitting hero of the story, Jason. He inherits the snow globe along with other artifacts, from his uncle and unleashes the now very bitter genie. He's been stuck in a snow globe for fifty years and his heart has frozen.
Jason has seven days to thaw Glenn's icy interior and exterior and the events take place over Christmas, to add to the atmosphere.
This is a cute story of boy meets genie, hilarious and not so hilarious misunderstandings ensue, leading up to...
Well, we don't know as this is book one of what looks to be a light hearted romantic story starring Jason, a fairly ordinary guy who has had a bad breakup, resulting in some bad decisions, namely, alcoholism.
Enter Glenn, the genie who came not from a lamp, but a snow globe (unique twist there!). Glenn's got his own issues, but as a genie, his primary function is to do the bidding of his master.
Now of course, this is where some delightful misunderstanding happens. Jason makes the standard mistake of "wishing" for something to hilarious consequences. But Jason isn't a normal master.
The story is fun. There's a lot here to explore. I look forward to seeing where this goes.
I don't know if English is the author's second language but much of the writing felt like a translation from a non-English-speaking person. Additionally, other glaring errors were displayed such as many misused tenses of words, missing words, and an unfinished sentence ending abruptly without any final punctuation. Also, Chapter 13 began with a word-for-word repeat of the opening paragraphs of Chapter 12. Again, let me say that this was an extremely poorly edited/proofread book.
